Abstract
An alternative method for the synthesis of acetamidobenzimidazoles (3-6) has been developed, including the reacylation of methylbenzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate (carbendazim, MBC, 1) under the action of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids. It was shown that with an increase in the size of the alkyl group and the reaction temperature (in the case of butyric acid), due to the decomposition of the resulting product, the yield of the target acyl products sharply decreases. The obtained compounds are homologues of the anthelmintic drug N-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl) acetamide (2acetylaminobenzimidazole, 3). A possible mechanism of reacylation is presented.
This study developed an efficient method for preparing 2-acetamidobenzimidazoles (3-6) by reacylation of methylbenzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate with aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids, yielding homologues of the anthelmintic drug N-
